The above and other features and advantages of the present disclosure will become more apparent by describing in detail exemplary embodiments thereof with reference to the attached drawings in which:
The present disclosure will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown, wherein like reference numerals refer to the like elements throughout.
A scan speed of the scanner 100 may be determined according to the performance of an image sensor, such as a charge coupled device (CCD) or a contact image sensor (CIS) and the performance of a driving motor, and may be set differently according to a scan mode. The scan mode is referred to a mode in which it is determined whether images of scan data are black and white or color and a resolution of the images is determined. The scan speed that is determined according to the performance of the scanner 100 may be limitedly supported according to the scan mode. A scan speed that is limitedly supported by the scanner 100 is referred to as a basic setting speed of the scanner 100. For example, if the scanner 100 supports a scan speed of 10 images per minute (ipm), 20 ipm, and 30 ipm for each scan mode, the basic setting speed of the scanner 100 includes 10 ipm, 20 ipm, and 30 ipm. That is, the basic setting speed means a scan speed which the scanner 100 basically supports without adjusting a feeding interval between scan-target documents.
The plurality of printers 210, 220, and 230 support different printing speeds according to the performance of their respective print engines. When it is assumed that a first printer 210 prints scan data transmitted from the scanner 100, if a printing speed of the first printer 210 is slower than a basic setting speed that is supported by the scanner 100, the scan data should be stored in a storage medium included in the printer 210, and then the stored scan data should be printed. If the storage medium in which the scan data is stored is a random access memory (RAM) included in the first printer 210, the printing speed is virtually not influenced. However, if the storage medium is a hard disk drive (HDD), the printing speed is influenced by the performance of an interface that is used for a compression of the scan data or the transmission of the scan data. On the contrary, if the printing speed of the first printer 210 is faster than the basic setting speed that is supported by the scanner 100, the printer 210 does not perform continuous print operations and should wait for scan data to be transmitted from the scanner 100, and thus, the printing speed slows down.
In this manner, since the scanner 100 supports a limited basic setting speed, it does not effectively cope with various scan speeds that are requested by the plurality of printers 210, 220, and 230, and thus the efficiency of an overall image forming operation may deteriorate. In order to solve such a problem, the scanner 100 of the image forming system according to the current embodiment of the present disclosure adjusts a feeding interval between scan-target documents, which are fed from the automatic document feeder, to thereby cope with various scan speeds that are requested by the plurality of printers 210, 220, and 230. A method of controlling a scan speed by adjusting the feeding interval is described in detail below.
In operation S301, the communication interface unit 110 of the scanner 100 receives a request speed for a scan operation from the printer 210. The communication interface unit 110 transmits the received request speed to the controller 120. In operation S302, the controller 120 adjusts a feeding interval between scan-target documents that are automatically fed from the automatic feeding unit 130, so that the scan operation may be performed at the received request speed.
A concrete method of adjusting the feeding interval, which is used in operation S302, is as follows. The speed selector 121 of the controller 120 determines whether there is a basic setting speed corresponding with the received request speed from among basic setting speeds that are supported by the scanner 100. If there is a basic setting speed corresponding with the received request speed, the speed selector 121 selects the basic setting speed and the controller 120 controls the scan operation performing unit 140 to perform a scan operation at the selected basic setting speed.
If there is no basic setting speed corresponding with the received request speed, the speed selector 121 selects a basic setting speed that is higher than the received request speed. In this case, if there are two or more basic setting speeds that are higher than the received request speed, the speed selector 121 may select the lowest basic setting speed from among the two or more basic setting speeds.
If the speed selector 121 selects a higher basic setting speed than the received request speed since there is no basic setting speed corresponding with the received request speed, the feeding interval calculator 122 adjusts a scan speed while maintaining a scan time for each document according to the selected basic setting speed and changing a feeding interval between scan-target documents that are fed from the automatic feeding unit 130, and calculates the feeding interval when the adjusted scan speed corresponds with the received request speed. Since the basic setting speed selected by the speed selector 121 is higher than the request speed, the scan speed gradually decreases when gradually increasing a feeding interval between scan-target documents, which are automatically fed from the automatic feeding unit 130, while maintaining a scan time for each document according to the selected basic setting speed, and in the end, a feeding interval when the request speed and the scan speed correspond with each other may be calculated.
When the feeding interval calculator 122 calculates the feeding interval, the feeding interval controller 123 controls the automatic feeding unit 130 to feed scan-target documents according to the calculated feeding interval. For example, in order to adjust the feeding interval between the scan-target documents, the feeding interval controller 123 moves a pickup roller of the automatic feeding unit 130. The pickup roller is an element which picks the scan-target documents up in the automatic feeding unit 130. The feeding interval controller 123 moves the pickup roller between a position where the pickup roller contacts the scan-target documents and a position where the pickup roller does not periodically contact the scan-target documents according to the calculated feeding interval. The feeding interval between the scan-target documents may be adjusted by adjusting a movement period of the pickup roller according to the calculated feeding interval. In addition, a scan speed controlled by the adjustment of the feeding interval may be transmitted to the printer 210 so that the printer 210 may check a scan speed at which an actual scan operation is performed.
If a scan speed of the scanner 100 corresponds with the request speed received from the printer 210 by the adjustment of the feeding interval, a scan operation is performed at the scan speed (operation S303) and scan data is transmitted to the printer 210 (operation S304). Finally, in operation S305, the printer 210 performs a printing operation according to the scan data.
The scanner 100 may receive a request speed in a form of data packet from the printer 210.

Subsequently, in operation S630, the scan-target documents are automatically fed according to the feeding interval calculated in operation S620, and a scan operation is performed. For example, in order to adjust the feeding interval between the scan-target documents, a pickup roller of the automatic feeding unit is periodically moved. The pickup roller is an element which picks the scan-target documents up in the automatic feeding unit of the scanner. The pickup roller is moved between a position where the pickup roller contacts the scan-target documents and a position where the pickup roller does not periodically contact the scan-target documents periodically according to the calculated feeding interval. The feeding interval between the scan-target documents may be adjusted by adjusting a movement period of the pickup roller according to the calculated feeding interval. When the scan operation is completed, the scanner transmits scan data, which is a result obtained by the scan operation, to the printer (operation S640).
If in operation S721, it is determined that there is a basic setting speed corresponding with the received request speed, the basic setting speed corresponding with the received request speed is selected in operation S725. Next, in operation S726, a scan operation is performed with the selected basic setting speed. Finally, in operation S740, scan data is transmitted.
If in operation S721, it is determined that there is no basic setting speed corresponding with the received request speed, a basic setting speed that is higher than the received request speed is selected in operation S722. In this case, if there are two or more basic setting speeds that are higher than the received request speed, the lowest basic setting speed from among the two or more basic setting speeds may be selected.
If the basic setting speed is selected in operation S722, a scan speed is adjusted by changing the feeding interval while maintaining a scan time for each document according to the selected basic setting speed (operation S723). Subsequently, in operation S724, the feeding interval when the adjusted scan speed corresponds with the received request speed is calculated. Since the basic setting speed selected in operation S722 is higher than the received request speed, the scan speed gradually decreases when gradually increasing the feeding interval between the scan-target documents, which are automatically fed from the automatic feeding unit of the scanner, while maintaining a scan time for each document according to the selected basic setting speed, and in the end, a feeding interval when the request speed and the scan speed correspond with each other may be calculated.
If the feeding interval is calculated, scan-target documents are automatically fed according to the calculated feeding interval and a scan operation is performed at an adjusted scan speed (operation S730). Next, in operation S740, scan data is transmitted to the printer.
In this manner, a scan speed may be controlled in response to a request of various scan speeds by adjusting a feeding interval between scan-target documents that are fed by an automatic document feeder of a scanner, and thus, an operation efficiency of the image forming system may be improved.
According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, a feeding interval may be also adjusted in a multi-function printer (MFP) including a printing unit and a scanning unit, in which a printing speed which is supported by the printing unit does not correspond with a scan speed that is supported by the scanning unit.
Below, the method of controlling a scan speed of the MFP with reference to
Referring to
The scanning unit 810 and the printing unit 840 each support a plurality of scan speeds and a plurality of printing speeds. However, the plurality of printing speeds that are supported by the printing unit 840 do not necessarily correspond with the plurality of scan speeds that are supported by the scanning unit 810. That is, some of the plurality of printing speeds that are supported by the printing unit 840 may not correspond with the plurality of scan speeds that are supported by the scanning unit 810. For example, the printing unit 840 may support first through sixth speeds as the printing speeds, and the scanning unit 810 may support only the first, third, and sixth speeds of the first through sixth speeds as the scan speeds.
When performing an image forming operation in which the printing unit 840 prints image data scanned by the scanning unit 810, if a printing speed of the printing unit 840 does not correspond with a scan speed of the scanning unit 810, an operational efficiency may deteriorate. Accordingly, in this case, by adjusting an automatic feeding interval in the scanning unit 810, the scan speed of the scanning unit 810 is adjusted to correspond with the printing speed of the printing unit 840. A detailed process of adjusting the scan speed is described with reference to
Referring to
For example, if the printing speed transmitted in operation S901 is the first speed in a state in which it is assumed that the printing unit 840 supports the first through sixth speeds as the printing speeds and the scanning unit 810 supports only the first, third, and sixth speeds as the scan speeds, the scan speed selector 821 selects the first speed as a scan speed and the scanning unit 810 performs a scan operation (operation S903). However, if the printing speed transmitted in operation S901 is the second speed, the scan speed selector 821 selects the third speed, which is higher than the second speed, as a scan speed since the scanning unit 810 does not support the second speed (operation S904). In this case, it is assumed that speed becomes gradually higher from the first speed toward the sixth speed.
Next, in operation S905, the feeding interval extractor 822 of the controller 820 extracts a feeding interval corresponding to a received printing speed and a selected scan speed from a table in which feeding intervals corresponding to various printing speeds and scan speeds are stored. The table, in which feeding intervals corresponding to various printing speeds and scan speeds are stored, is stored in the storage unit 830 beforehand. For example, a feeding interval that should be adjusted to make a scan speed correspond with a printing speed when the printing speed is the second speed and the scan speed is the third speed, is calculated beforehand and then stored in the table. Similarly, various feeding intervals, which correspond to a plurality of scan speeds, which are supported by the scanning unit 810, and a plurality of printing speeds, which are supported by the printing unit 840, are calculated beforehand and then stored in the table. Accordingly, the feeding interval extractor 822 may extract a feeding interval, which corresponds to the printing speed received in operation S901 and the scan speed selected in operation S904, from the table stored in the storage unit 830.
If a feeding interval is extracted in operation S905, the scanning unit 810 automatically feeds scan-target documents according to the extracted feeding interval and then performs a scan operation (operation S906). If the scan operation is completed, the scanning unit 810 transmits scan data to the printing unit 840 (operation S907), and then the printing unit 840 prints the scan data received from the scanning unit 810 (operation S908).
